2015 macbook pro still sounds most appealing...

No kidding. I want one bad since it is the last mac I would be able to use. It's almost 3 year old tech but I don't think the speed difference between 2015 and 2017 is that big epithet.
 
Serious question: what’s wrong with buying this MacBook Air mid 2017?!?
Absolutely nothing wrong with buying one if it suits your needs. But for those who don't want to buy a device knowing that there are other models with greater performance, capacity, and hardware that exist, then the Macbook Air is a non-starter.

My 2014 4GB/128GB 11" MBA is still going strong. There's something to be said for a macOS device that is slightly larger than an iPad. Sadly, the 11" MBA has been discontinued, but if I had to replace my MBA today, I would have no problem picking up the 13"... especially at $200 off.
